Mishmasy Goodness

Some brief thoughts...

First off, the monkey's fist is the coolest knot ever. Its basic purpose is to make an end of rope heavy. One might say, "Hey! Now I can throw one end of a rope some distance without having to worry about it getting snagged or the like!" But why stop there? Go ahead; use it as a safety weapon. Going somewhere shady? Don't have any means of self-defense? Never fear! Monkey's fist is here. I wonder if they'd let it on planes...

Second off, while considering Spirited Away, a Miyazake film, the girl, Amanda, Ken, and I were thinking of witches and how they always have ingredients stemming from animals blood, hair, and various other parts. I wondered then how vegetarian or (gasp!) vegan witches might get along. Is there such a thing? Why has nobody ever made some comedic movie on the subject? Why don't I? Could I accomplish such a thing? We'll probably never know.

Anyway, my brain leaked, and that's what came out. I've now plugged the hole, though I'm sure it will work itself loose again.
